Ubuntu Karmic Koala alpha 3 released
Hello Ubuntu developers, Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha-3, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10. Pre-releases of Karmic are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. Alpha 3 is the third in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Karmic development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Karmic. You can download it here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Ubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Kubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Xubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/karmic/al... (Ubuntu Studio) See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors. Alpha 3 includes a number of software updates that are ready for large-scale testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For an overview of new features and a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter). For Ubuntu please see: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha3 For Kubuntu please see: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KarmicKoala/Alpha3/Kubuntu If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Karmic, have a look at the karmic-changes mailing list: http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/karmic-changes We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events. http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-ann... Bug reports should go to the Ubuntu bug tracker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs Enjoy, -- Martin Pitt On behalf of the Ubuntu release team -- ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-an...

downloading now... alpha2 had gone south on both test boxes where I had it installed - hopefully this one will remain bootable and updatable through the final release.

At one stage, I was unable to boot Karmic, but recovered it by booting the previous kernel. It all got sorted by a further update, and I now find it running very well.

Ubuntu's launchpad based bug tracking system _bts_ is lacking accessable
package version information. Up to and including Hardy, ubuntu used apt-listbugs which referred to debian's bts with package version tracking. Even though this pulled bug information from the debian bts, it gave a reasonable indication of what packages contained significant bugs. apt-listbugs was withdrawn, because ubuntu package customization increasing has made the related debian bts irrelevant.
From ubuntu intrepid and later I have blindly upgraded. Have been burned on

This was part of the original design for Launchpad Bugs, but it never came to
